Working with Quorum, Drax has transitioned from a mix of multi-vendor procured and in-house systems to one seamless, integrated software solution. This shift has streamlined its IT estate, simplified support, and reduced total cost of ownership – all while laying a strong foundation for ongoing development aligned with its digital and operational ambitions.
Our software now supports the efficient management of Drax’s circa 3.2 GW low-carbon generation portfolio, including biomass, pumped storage, and hydroelectric assets. It streamlines essential business processes such as asset scheduling, BM participation, and REMIT compliance, and includes a bespoke interface with one of Drax’s core control systems—enhancing reliability and enabling greater automation in dispatch.
“This project has been a true collaboration between Drax and Quorum, working hard to implement a crucial operational and commercial system.” – Drax
Commenting on the project, Drax said: “This project has been a true collaboration between Drax and Quorum, working hard to implement a crucial operational and commercial system. It has allowed Drax to streamline several broader processes and eliminate outdated, less efficient systems. This investment future proofs and aligns with our long-term strategy to expand our flex-gen assets.”
